The 'son' seems to have left out the bit about his mothers alleged 'infidelity' with the Yoruba man who lived with them in London for a year (or whatever it was the ambassador claimed)!   It doesn't add up! Any man who does what we see in those pictures to a woman is a beast and does not deserve to represent any people! He had no right to cause her to suffer any injuries - minor or major!

HEY NAIRALANDERS,
I just wanna  add my wo cents. Some might call it bad belle or whatever else. I have observed that the car market in Nigeria is  greatly saturated and is actually a buyers market. In other words, buyers have the advantage. A lot of cars are actually cheaper in Nija than you would buy them  in USA and Europe after shipping ang clearing charges are added. Yes , I mean what am saying. Lets say you want to buy a 2005-2007 Nisssan Pathfinder for example. Dealers in nija are asking N3.5m on average. The cost in USA is about $12K to $17. Shipping is abt. $1200 to $1500 and clearing is about N400k to N600K.  You do the math. Now consider that if you have , lets say N2.3m cash in hand, I can gurantee that u can get this tokumbo car in Nija with a week or two of searching in Lagos.Yes. Try and see. Just target the car of your dreams, hold abt 60 % to 70% of the average dealer price in hand and then begin searching for your dream vehicle. I gurantee you will find with one to two weeks in Lagos. The reason is simple. There are so so many cars for sale in Nija and not enough buyers that some owners have to wait for six months, 1 yr and even two years to have their cars sold for a reasonable price. At some point, many owners will get frustrated and will need cash for emergencies, projects , debts  and other financial commitments. In such situations , profit become secondary and sellers are willing to sell at cost or even at a  small loss just to get soem cash, This is where you, the buy steps in to create a win win situation for both you and the seller.
I just dont see any reason why anyone would want to buy a tokumbo vehicle abroad, ship it , and clear it and still think he or she got a good deal.
The good deals are in Lagos. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I think it would be most effective if somehow Seun could somehow implement a referral/reputation system. Kinda like the 'feedback' on eBay.
This can be exploited, though. So an easy way out could be the mod stickies a thread called "Trusted Auto dealers". In that thread you could have a listing of the trusted dealers on NL and potential buyers can see if they are doing business with known people.  

My 2 cents.

I help client procure their desired buy option from Cotonou and get 80% to full payment upfront and i have done tens of deals on NL that has never gone bad.
Thanks to NL,people like us without much capital to stock variegated buy options can still make ends meet.
So upfront payment would still remain in play.

The solution proffered by the moderator is the foundation for all others

"The Only Solution I can see is Collective Responsibility, The Admin and the Moderators alone Cannot Do it, When we see any Advert that looks dodgy Or we Suspect a User with Multiple IDs, Let us Call the Poster to order, We can also Use the Report to Moderator Button to report any Complaints, We all have a duty to Protect and Build this Section"

In addition,Dealers should post verifiable point of contact address on their threads as this goes a long way to prove they have nothing to hide and won't criminally abscond with client's funds.
